Shinto Kubusaka graduated from the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy, and he formed the command after he retired from DCMS service. On Outreach he collected enough troops to fill a combined arms unit. Backed by the "farm team" project of the Kell Hounds, they raided a pro-Katrina base. Their next job brought them into combat again with the LAAF (specifically the 3rd Donegal Guards)[1], but this time the battle cost them much of their equipment.[2]

During the opening months of the Jihad they were tasked to provide security to Atocongo, where they saved GeneralAdam Steiner from a bombing. This suicide bomb cost the Intellectuals their commanding officer, and injured several other officers. When the unit's former XO had recuperated, he voluntarily extended the Intellectuals' service to the LAAF, overriding their original three-year contract.[1]

As the Jihad entered its closing stages in 3079 rumors were circulating amongst the LAAF that the Fighting Intellectuals had been approached to either join the rebuilding Kell Hounds or to join a line regiment within the LAAF, in a fashion possibly similar to that adopted by the One-Eyed Jacks.[3]
